Q

What are 4 basic types of network topologies?

A

P2P
Ring
Star
Bus

17
Q

What is P2P topology? Advantages and Disadvantages?

A

Dedicated link between two machines.

Pro: Fast and simple

Con: Doesnt scale up well.

18
Q

What is a ring topology? Advantages and disadvantages?

A

Pros: Low risk of collision using token-based protocol. Cheap, easy.

Cons. Bandwidth is shared by every node is in the network. Loss of one node will collapse the network. IOT make changes, you need to shut down the entire network.

19
Q

What is Contention?

A

Multiple nodes putting data on the line at the same time, resulting in collision.

20
Q

What methods are used to avoid Contention?

A

CSMA
CSMA/CD
CSMA/CA

21
Q

What is CSMA?

A

Carrier Sense Multiple Access

Listens to the line to verify the absence of other traffic before transmitting.

22
Q

What is CSMA/CD?

A

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detect

Same as CSMA but terminates the transmission when a collision is detected, thereby shortening the time until another retry can be attempted.

23
Q

What is CSMA/CA?

A

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance

If a transmission is detected on the line, the node waits a random amount of time before sending its data, reducing the statistical likelihood of collision.

24
Q

What is starvation?

A

When a node cannot get a chance to send data because the line is constantly busy.

25
Q

What is star topology? Advantages and disadvantages?

A

Every network node is connected to one central node (hub or switch)

Advantages: If anything except the central nodes goes down, network remains up.

New nodes can be added without taking the system offline.

Fewer cabling.

Easy to manage from the central hub

Disadvantages:

If central node fails, the entire network fails.

26
Q

What is the bus topology? Advantage and disadvantages?

A

Each node connected to a common bus (backbone).

Advantages:

Cheap, easy, graceful degradation, broadcasting is easy.

Disadvantages:

If the line fails, the network fails.

Bandwidth shared between all nodes.

More collisions.

27
Q

What is Ethernet?

A

A familty of networking standards that covers the Physical and Data Link Layer.

It describes how detwork devices format and transmit data packets to other devices on the network.

Physical topology is Star
Logical toplogy is Bus

Uses CSMA/CD

Supports up to 100 Gbps

28
Q

Define Peer to Peer connections

A

Devices share resources with eachother.

Cheap, simple, decentralized, less secure.

29
Q

Define Client-Server model.

A

Resources are stored on servers and requested by clients.

Very scalable and accessible.

Expensive, requires maintenance, server is SPoF.
